u wrong baconeggs
I c wut u did thar…
there was a movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, though I forgot it’s name, where he goes to mars and see this 3-breasted whore, then he shoots he. what was the name of that movie ?!
Total Recall
No, you simply can’t claim that gravity will never fail. It stands to reason that it won’t, and all evidence points to that, but you can’t say without ANY doubt that you won’t suddenly fly off the planet.
You can be sure of something, but never certain.
Once AI is perfected I bet someone will make a sentient bed. On that day you shall eat your hat
i thought it said there are no sentient waitresses.
Why?
Because while all the evidence shows it has never failed thus far, it cannot show that it will NEVER fail.
Nothing is impossible basically, but some things are extremely improbable.
there is no proof that this rock keeps tigers away from my house, but you cant prove it DOESNT.
Sorry to break this to you, but the nature of gravity is a fundamental part of the universe. To have gravity fail is to fundamentally alter the laws of the universe. If you do that, then, yes, what I know will then be wrong
But, under the current laws of the universe, gravity will never, ever, fail. Period. To try to assert otherwise is to assert fiction as fact.
But you can’t honestly say the universe will never change. Whatever you believe, observe or know can be called into question, the only way to make it “correct” is to make it seem more probable than other ideas.
Ballsopt pretty much hit the nail on the head with that.
I’m sorry, but I’m with baconeggs here. The possibility for god, gravity failing, or, indeed, your arm turning into the three breasted prostitute from Total Recall is so small that it is indistinguishable from being impossible, but, technically speaking, it is there (just not worth considering).
Doesn’t mean someone who thinks gravity will stop working is not an idiot.
That’s not his point.
I can honestly say that. Gravity will not fail. There’s a zero percent probability of it failing.
@Soup: No, my arm will never turn into a three-breasted prostitute from Total Recall. There’s a zero percent probability of it happening. Not 0.00000000…01% of it happening. 0%.
And there’s a zero percent probability that there is a god as defined by men. Hell, we can’t even DEFINE the entity known as “god”!
Nah, if you put enough zeros in 0.0000…01%, it could reflect the chance of such conjectures being true. Nothing has an absolute 0% chance of happening, unless you round down to 0, which your opinion seems to be doing.
If you’re talking about fundamentally altering the universe to such an extent that this kind of thing can happen, then you’re not talking about this universe anymore; we’ve entered the realm of fantasy and fiction. Great if you want to open a portal to the borderworld of Xen or blink at a plane and blow it up…but we’re talking about reality, not fantasy.
daniel, whether you like it or not, it’s impossible to absolutely disprove something in science. That’s just how science works. There is never a 0% or 100% chance of something being correct.
I wasn’t saying to disprove it with science.
What were you talking about then, your opinion?
